New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party which is eyeing more states after winning in Punjab this year dissolved its Himachal Pradesh working committee on Monday where elections are due later this year. 


AAP's Himachal Pradesh election in-charge Satyendar Jain took to Twitter and informed about the party's decision and said that the new state working committee will be reorganized soon.



This comes after the Arvind Kejriwal-led party witnessed the resignations of many of its leaders from the hill state, including its woman wing chief Mamata Thakur who later joined the BJP. 


Union minister and Hamirpur MP Anurag Thakur took a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after its state leaders joined the BJP, saying its head and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will find it difficult to save his party's organisation in Himachal Pradesh.

Last Friday, AAP Himachal Pradesh president Anup Kesari, general secretary (organisation) Satish Thakur and Una district chief Iqbal Singh had joined the BJP in the presence of its president JP Nadda and Thakur in the national capital.

Seeking to downplay the defections from its state unit, the AAP had then said that it was going to sack them, claiming that all the three leaders joining the BJP were "tainted" and there was an allegation against Kesari of indecent behaviour with women.

Kesari lashed out at the AAP leadership for indulging in "character assassination" and alleged they were "fake nationalists" and full of arrogance.

He and Mamata Thakur accused the AAP of ignoring party members in the state, and lauded the BJP for its programmes.

Anurag Thakur, who hails from the state, said the AAP has been jolted so much by its leaders quitting the party that it has begun levelling allegations to insult them, including women.

"Kejriwal had thought about forming government in the state but he is finding it tough to save his party's organisation," he said.
